Eastgate, Former Islington Workhouse

Author(s): Susie Barson

'Eastgate' is the former boardroom and offices building that belonged to an enormous Victorian workhouse that once occupied a seven-acre site on the north side of St John 's Way in the north of the borough. This building is the sole surviving remnant of the workhouse which was demolished in 1972. It is now occupied by the Irish Centre and a Women 's Counselling Service. London Region 's Historic Buildings Adviser Martin 0’'Rourke has requested some historical information to support an application to list the building.
